San Stefanos news and views / Our holiday in San Stefano
« on: August 06, 2010, 11:45:28 AM »
Barras was our home for the week and we were really impressed with it.
On arrival though, shock/horror! We were not on the list for a room so Dimitris had to make some phone calls and got us sorted, phew!
We ate at the Barras most evenings and were well looked after by George, Dimitris, Spiros and Vassilli, the bar and restaurant area are very nice.
We went to Zorbas and the food was ok and the price was good, we got there too late to see the dancing though.
Went to Manthos Greek night on Saturday night and although we had a good time we found the food from the BBQ was nicely cooked but a bit bland, the Greek dancers were good but the introduction and commentary was pre recorded and a bit unprofessional, considering they do it every week you thought they would have had it down to a T! The view over the bay is stunning(took a few of shots of the sunset too)
Went to the Condor to see Amy Housewine and that was quite good entertainment, plenty of beer and ouzo flowing lol
Breakfast:
Barras - not very good really
Manthos - about the same as barras but the view overlooking the bay made up for it
2 star - very good
Condor - very good, slightly better than 2 Star
We hired a boat out for half a day and had a great time, not cheap but you get to see some lovely views of the coast line, we went out to one of the islands and anchored up for a while (took one of my best pictures there), the sea is so clear. (Where have all the fish gone?)
We really enjoyed our 1st time in San Stefano, the people are really nice and you are always welcomed where ever you go and nothing is ever too much trouble. We are looking to go back there next year, maybe in May.
